Alabama House Minority Leader Craig Ford, D-Gadsden, has been chosen 2015 Lawmaker of the Year by the Alabama Credit Union Association, an affiliate of the League of Southeastern Credit Unions & Affiliates.

Ford was presented with the award April 5 by local credit union officials during the Alabama State Governmental Affairs Conference in Montgomery.

“Rep. Ford has shown through his actions to understand credit union issues and how they affect their local members,” said Patrick La Pine, LSCU president and chief executive officer. “He co-sponsored legislation to help modernize the State Credit Union Act, which was sent to the governor’s desk this year. He also supports municipalities’ freedom of choice when it comes to public deposits. Rep. Ford knows first-hand how locally based credit unions help their members succeed.”
